Kate Beckinsale has recently admitted to sending dirty videos of herself to her boyfriend via a webcam. Fair enough. I'm sure that's very fun for both of them. I'm sure it's very sexy.

What is not sexy, however, is her follow-up comment that stripping in front of a webcam is sort of like taking pictures of your ass with a Xerox machine. She says:

"There's no way we're keeping it clean. That's the whole point. It's like when you get a photocopier and you JUST HAVE TO do one of your bum. It's just one of those rules of life."

No, Kate. I'm afraid that this is not one of the rules of life. "Treating others as you would like to be treated" is a rule of life. "Don't mix colors and whites in the laundry" is another. "Dating Kevin Federline will ruin your career," and so on and so forth.

Getting a xerox machine and "just having to take one of your bum" does not qualify as a rule. Furthermore, whoever thought of the dirty xeroxing idea in the first place is a moron. I mean, I guess, maybe watching somebody do it is fun. Cause then at least you get to see that person get naked. But what is the end result, really? A fuzzy black-and-white photo with no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever? Stupid. Stick with the web cam.
